On Wednesday, Feb. 23, the young men of the Live Oak Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints laid siege on the church in hopes of capturing the elusive trophy for the Super Smash Bros. championship tournament. The event began with 11 contestants, all vying for the opportunity to advance to one step closer to the championship trophy.
One by one the challengers fell, leaving Noah Harris and Romey Wainwright on a collision course to meet in the championship. The two made easy work of their opponents until they were finally face-to-face—two remotes, one game. The fallen contestants gathered around, each eagerly awaiting the outcome, while the coveted championship trophy waited on the side.
The anticipation built, as neither player refused to back down and few mistakes were made to give their opponent the upper hand. Harris and Wainwright were deadlocked as time expired on the match, forcing the contestants to go into overtime. Eventually, Harris dramatically overcame Wainwright to claim the championship and the title of the best Super Smash Bros. player.
